The existing website had become difficult to maintain and was no longer performing as it should.

It was built on an older theme using the Redux Framework which had become outdated and was no longer receiving the updates needed to keep the setup reliable. Over time, this contributed to performance issues, lagging and problems with the website's overall structure.

Rather than continuing to patch the same issues, I recommended replacing the outdated theme with a cleaner and more flexible foundation.

After reviewing the existing setup, I recommended rebuilding the website using Hello Elementor theme and Elementor page builder.

The client approved the approach and I redesigned and rebuilt the website around the store's existing e-commerce requirements.
